HC Deb 19 December 1929 vol 233 cc1637-8W
Sir H. CROFT

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that, when exporting goods to foreign countries and also to the Dominions and Colonies, the British manufacturer is called upon to declare the domestic value of such goods; and if he is prepared to compel the foreign exporter to make a similar declaration in respect of goods imported into this country?

Mr. W. GRAHAM

I understand that this requirement is enforced by most of our Dominions, but not by the majority of our Colonies nor by more than two or three foreign countries, of which the United States of America is the chief. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.
